Well, I made it to Chicago fine, and did my paper this morning. So, now this opens up some free time until Sunday, so what better to do than to give our regular readers (i.e. Robbo's Mom) a sense of what type of ecstatic wackiness transpires when you get 3000 political science professors together in one spot.
Let's just say it puts Mardi Gras in New Orleans to shame!
Well, that's a bit of an exageration. Okay, more than a bit, but I need to tell myself these things to prevent a complete nervous breakdown.
I'm going to take the liberty to point out some of the panels I won't be attending:
for instance "Black Presidential Bids in 2004: Their Significance and Impact in the American Political Process" A pretty short panel.
Anyhoo, the big news is tomorrow's panel is
The Power and Politics of Blogs
featuring Andrew Sullivan, Dan Drezner, and.......Ana Marie Cox, aka "Wonkette."
I've got the wireless laptop and the digital camera (and tenure, so I can pull stunts like this), so I'm going to see if there is wireless access in the room. If so, I'm going to live-blog it, and as a measure of interactivity, I'll ask the three best questions you our loyal readers suggest: given the chance, what would YOU ask Wonkette?
Consider this your double-Llama dare of the day!
(Rusty, I'm calling you out on this one!)
More later this afternoon as my time limit on the public computers is up.
